Book was gently used.. came looking brand new.. perfect condition!! Very , very happy with my purchase!

Had to track the shipping company and the seller as the product did not arrive at first and was returned to origins due to not having the address (which should not have happened since it was made via Amazon and they have this information), but following contact with the seller a new delivery was arranged and the book finally arrived.Conforms to description in shape and contents. One of the most insightful books on a selection of some of the upanisads (only 18).

Love this. Great introductory essays and great translation with notes put in here and there as needed. President S. Radhakrishnan has given us a terrific translation of the Upanishads for decades to come! Definitely 5 stars.

Ao comprar esse livro sabia que não era novo porque é difícil encontrar um exemplar novo disponível mas achei que o estado de conservação dele poderia ser melhor (inclusive considerando que paguei caro por ele). O conteúdo é incrível mas queria um livro sem tantas manchas amareladas.
